Is Soft-Tissue Therapy Safe for Pregnant Women?

Pregnancy can bring all kinds of changes to the body, from postural shifts and joint strain to lower back discomfort, pelvic tension, or swollen legs. If you’re pregnant and feeling the effects physically, please do get in touch.

Soft-Tissue Therapy can still be helpful and safe, depending on your stage of pregnancy and the nature of your symptoms. I’ll always assess your needs carefully and, if I believe another specialist would be better suited, I’ll be happy to refer you.

If treatment is appropriate, we’ll take every measure to ensure your comfort, using supported side-lying or seated positions, gentle techniques, and lots of check-ins throughout.

The goal isn’t just to reduce pain, it’s to create a calm, grounded experience that helps your body feel supported in this season of rapid change. And if you’re navigating pre-existing issues like sciatica, pelvic girdle pain, or muscular tightness during pregnancy, this work may offer real relief.
